Short Review : BT08 Blue Storm Armada

Winter is coming and a lot has and will happen in the world of Vanguard. Blue Storm Armada spoiler has been announced and so new reprints regarding Nova Grappler and Oracle Think Tank have.

Today we are going to review BT08 and get a taste of the future metagame.

Blue Storm Armada really brought up a lot of support for some “forgotten” clans like Tachikaze, Dimensional Police and Neo Nectar. Let’s take a closer look:

Neo Nectar

This clan is about pushing your opponents with your beatsticks and force them to literally guard against each of your attacks. In this new set a new archetype and a new chain ride is introduced.

“All for one and one for all” This archetype is practically revolving around retiring/thinning and recycling in order to achieve the best formation you can have. Equipped with a Limit breaker and with a mass of “recycling” units a strong and solid line-up doesn’t seem so difficult.

And off course we can’t forget the mighty chain ride. This chain is about powering up your solid formation with minimum cost effectively making every of your attacks hitting the 20-21k powerline easily.

Tachikaze

Another “forgotten” deck has finally been revitalized getting new really good support. Tachikaze is going to attract a lot of attention for sure. Getting 2 limit breakers isn’t a small feat and certainly their support units would not be too kind too. Retiring and powering while getting advantage and pushing your opponent to extremes, sapping away their defenses doesn’t sound bad at all. Chain Ride and a potential double twin drive is a fierce combination that cannot be overlooked.

Dimensional Police

The Justice League of Planet Cray finally got new recruits and not just any recruits but the Ultimate Justice Sword and a new chain ride as well ( it seems that we’re getting a lot of them recently). The new chain ride focuses around weakening the enemy vanguard making powerless in front of your mighty Police. As for the Ultimate Dimensional Robo Daiyusha,13k     potentially superior crossride unit with a free LB making your vanguard a huge finisher especially when you combined it with units such as Dailander.

And now the Man dish. 

My new favorite, Aqua Force. A lot of great units has been released, 2 more Limit breakers have entered the fray accompanied by their own support, Storm Riders. I won’t get into details because this is going to be my next topic.

Last new Narukami units have been introduced. They are not seem very impressive for now , but Narukami is certainly a great clan and new ways can be ventured to incorporate these new recruits into your Thunder army.

 Blue Storm Armada is a great collection that will cause a lot of turmoil to the seas of Cray and will set new rules to the upcoming format. Get Ready! Let’s Imagine! Lets Vanguard!
